Intelligent code completion and other Gosu editor tools

When you type code into the Gosu editor, the editor uses its type system to help you write code quickly and easily. The editor also uses the type system to preserve the constraints for statically typed variables. When you type the period (.) character, the editor displays a list of possible properties or subobjects that are allowed at that location in the code.

Similar to the use of the period character, the Gosu editor has a Complete Code feature. Choose this tool to display a list of properties or objects that could complete the current code where the cursor is. If you try to enter an incorrect type, Gosu displays an error message immediately so that you can fix your errors at compile time.

Refactoring

Static typing makes it much easier for development tools to perform smart code refactoring.
